Composite

What's New

Mozilla 1.3 Completely Breaks Composite! The good news is that with a significant rewrite, composite will be able to perform inline -- no more popup window. Interested contributors are encouraged to email Andyed.

Our XPIs (installers) were broken. v0.5 has been rebuilt... feedback at bug 2949

ComposIte is a chrome overlay which enables a streamlined Mozilla
Editor for html composition in textareas. To use the editor,
hit ctrl-e in a textarea. Alternately, you can
turn on an 'Edit with Composite' button in the Composite prefs
(v0.0.5 and higher).

ComposIte is a port of Eric Hodel's (aka DrBrain) LiveLizard
editor. It is hooked up via a overlay with a single call to
GetElementsByTagName. In the link toolbar, this was estimated to
create a 2% page load performance hit. YMMV. The preferred
implementation would be through XBL enabled in usercontent.css.
This does not work due to security restrictions (even with
enablePriveledge).

One installed you'll be able to edit a textarea like the one
below with the wysiwig Mozilla Composer module.

Wonder why you can't run this inline? Customization of the editor is possible, but in many cases requires writing C code alas. Nonetheless, we have more features than your average JoeEdit and are fully open source (BSD3/MPL).
